That applet - whilst clever - seems to be less accurate thanyour fudge
factor allows for. A journey from Hainault to Elephant is shown on
there as 32 minutes. On Wednesday (which had a "good" service and is
fairly typical for my experience) it took me 70 minutes. A brief look
at other typical journeys I take shows a similar inaccuracy.
